Notes
Making a richer version: In this shahi paneer recipe, I have not used butter and added less
cream. Feel free to add more cream or use butter if you prefer.
Tomatoes: I have not added tomatoes as I have used yogurt (curd). But you can substitute
yogurt with tomato puree in the same proportions as mentioned in the recipe. If adding
tomatoes, then do add 2 to 3 tablespoons cream to balance the tang from tomatoes.
Vegan options: Use tofu and cashew yogurt. I won't suggest using soy or peanut yogurt. If

using cashew yogurt then you don't need to add cashews while making the paste. Use a
neutral tasting oil in place of ghee.
Freshness: Since a major part of the gravy is made from nuts and yogurt, do make sure that
these ingredients are fresh. The nuts and seeds should not be rancid and the curd (yogurt)
must not be sour.
Consistency: You can make a thicker consistency or a medium consistency of the gravy by
adding less or more water.
Fats: For the fats, you can use any neutral tasting oil or butter or ghee. Though butter or ghee
will make the gravy richer.
